I have been a tenant of Windham Windsor Housing for the past 20 years. I am aware of both the great benefits that WWHT provides to the community as well as some of the challenges that it faces. Before I moved to Brattleboro I lived in Portland, ME and served as first a member and then the chair of a community mental health board that had the responsibility of allocating all state mental health dollars in Maine’s two southern and most populous counties. Here in Brattleboro I have served on the board of the Women’s Freedom Center for the past eight years. I continue to do so. While in Maine I worked in the field of domestic violence and as a public policy research assistant at the Muskie Institute at the University of Southern Maine.

Ellen and Cynthia have each been outstanding board members. We’re beyond grateful to the dedication and thoughtfulness these two women brought to our organiztion. A heartfelt thank you to Ellen and Cynthia!

Ellen Snyder will be terming off the board after 8 years of service. Ellen has exemplified what an active board member role looks like. A resident of 109 Green Street, Ellen is deeply engaged in the community. She not only comes to each board meeting and participates actively, she’s also a valued member of our Program Committee. This committee, with Ellen’s voice for community support, was a driving factor in creating a resident services team in house. Ellen has also co-chaired our Race Equity Diversity and Inclusion committee and is someone we can always count on for showing up for volunteer days or community gatherings. Her ability to build connections between generations, neighbors, and people from varying backgrounds is a true strength which we will continue to honor and always strive to emulate. In 2021, our annual report ran a feature on Ellen’s connections. Please take a moment to read this wonderful perspective on community connection.

Cynthia Gubb has served on the Housing Trust board for 4 years. A resident of Londonderry she brings valuable perspective from our smaller, more rural communities and is a strong advocate for solutions which serve towns outside of our regional hubs. Cynthia has been a thoughtful and engaged board member from assisting with annual fundraising notes to actively engaging in strategic planning discussions with thoughtful, probing questions. She was an active member of the Mountain Towns Housing Group in Londonderry which, through a tremendous local effort, built a shared equity home in Londonderry from the ground up. We’re grateful to have had her leadership and passion on our board.
